Some devices require rolling code programming.
Identifying a rolling code
� Press a programmed button in the operating
unit again and hold it down.
� Watch the green LED CD
¢ page 36, Fig. 28. If
the green LED starts flashing rapidly, this indi
cates that the system you wish to operate, such
as a garage door, is equipped with a rolling
code.
� Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating a system's drive unit
� Locate
the programming button on the sys
tem's drive unit. The exact location and colour
of the button may vary depending on the type
of system.
� Press
the programming button on the system's
drive unit (this will normally cause an indicator
lamp on the unit to light up). You now have
about 30 seconds to start and complete pro
gramming of the button in the operating unit.
Programming the button in the operating
unit
� Press the previously programmed button in the
operating unit for 2 seconds.
� Press the button for 2 seconds again to com
plete rolling code programming.
� For some systems, the button may have to be
pressed a third time to complete the program
ming sequence.
After programming, the system should recognise
the signal and respond when the button in the
operating unit is pressed. Now the other control
buttons can be programmed as required.
@ Note
- Having a second person assist you makes
programming of the rolling code easier and
faster. ..,_

when the Light switch is set to AUTO.
Static cornering light (turning light)* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -the turning Light
is automatically activated when the steering
wheel angle exceeds a specified value (up to
about 70 km/h) or when the turn signals are
switched on (up to about 40 km/h). This feature
provides better illumination at the side of the ve

Motorway light* (on vehicles with LED head
lights) -this function adjusts the vehicle Lighting
on motorways, according to your speed.
Speed-dependent light distribution* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -this function ad
justs the light distribution as required in towns,
on motorways and on other main roads. Intersec
tions can also be illuminated if your vehicle is
equipped with a navigation system*.

If you drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left
hand drive country, or vice versa, it is not neces
sary to adjust the headlights, as they are de
signed for use when driving on the left or right.
A WARNING
- The automatic headlights* are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on
manually when the Light conditions or visi
bility are poor. For example, the light sen
sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights io in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord-
ance with statutory regulations.
